Watch Huangmei opera

Watching Huangmei Opera on Lantern Festival, many people like to watch Huangmei Opera in life. One couple watched Huangmei Opera with the Lantern Festival, and "Couples Watching Lights" was about the Lantern Festival. Wang Xiaoliu, a young farmer, took his wife to the city to see lanterns. The following is watching the Lantern Huangmei Opera.

Watching Lantern Huangmei Opera 1 Huangmei Opera classic "Couples Watching Lantern" is about the Lantern Festival. Wang Xiaoliu, a young farmer who lives in Daqiaotou Town, Huaining, Anqing, took his wife to the city to see lanterns. The city is crowded with people, and all kinds of lanterns-dragon lanterns, lion lanterns and crab lanterns-come and go, and all kinds of lanterns are very lively. In the process of watching lanterns, an interesting episode happened, and the whole drama was full of songs and dances, showing the happy mood and life interest of farmers after the harvest. After watching the lanterns, the couple went home happily.

First, fresh people

The characters in "Couples Watching Lights" are very simple, that is, "26 years old, Wang's wife is 24 years old", but both characters are vividly portrayed. Wang Xiaoliu is a typical young farmer, enthusiastic ("wife, look at gifts") and humorous ("If your wife came to see the lights and I stared at your wife, would you?" ), with a little sly "faded" ("yo, yo, no, my wife's trouser legs are on fire"). Wang's wife, on the other hand, is straightforward ("Look at the old man, he only looks at my eyes without looking at the light"), provocative ("What are you laughing at without looking at the light? It almost scares my soul away") and a little rustic "smug" ("I just opened the comb box, put on an ebony comb and put on red flowers and green flowers". A red coat embroidered with blue flowers, Hong Xiuxie's green leaves are pulled out "). Because of the accurate grasp of the characters' personality, the audience naturally accepted the characters in the play, because they are too similar to the familiar image of farmers. Any plot, lyrics and even the performance of the characters in the play are subordinate to and serve the personality characteristics of the characters. For example, when Mr. and Mrs. Wang Xiaoliu went out to watch the lights, they went to the door and sang, "Take the host out and close the two doors with you. People who go to the house, people who go to the house, my husband and wife go to see the lights, so please watch the door and see the lights. " There are both typical rural life scenes and generous and cheerful personalities of Wang Xiaoliu and his wife.

Second, vivid language.

Looking at the whole drama "Couples Watching Lights", almost all of them are plain or even vulgar vernacular, which is not unusual, because it is a "peasant drama" in itself. What is really rare is that the playwright keeps the perspective and mentality of the peasants (its original author is probably a peasant artist). Now, skits and TV plays also write about farmers, soldiers and laid-off workers. Screenwriters also try to make the characters speak vernacular and swear words, thinking that they are farmers and workers. However, divorced from real life, they can't understand and replace the perspective and mentality of ordinary people, so that no matter how they edit it, the language will look pale and melodramatic. Like "Couples Watching Lights", it's all about farmers, not just for farmers. This is the most remarkable thing. For example, husband and wife describe how people of all colors look at lights:

The language is really vulgar, but it is vivid, vivid and wonderful. Another example is Wang's wife dragging articles and showing off allusions. She has sung Zhou Dynasty lanterns, Three Kingdoms lanterns and Tang Dynasty lanterns, but the contents are not faithful to history. That is the whole content of popular novels such as Romance of the Gods, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and The Journey to the West, which are loved by ordinary people.

Another example is that Wang's wife suddenly lost her temper when she watched the lamp: "Go, go home, I won't watch it." When Wang Xiaoliu asked, he realized that a guy was always staring at his wife. At this moment, Wang Xiaoliu came up and pointed to the audience and said, "Why don't you see my wife looking at the light? If your wife came to see the light and I stared at your wife, would you? " The audience followed Wang Xiaoliu's gestures and eyes. The accused audience is often embarrassed and distressed, while other audiences burst into laughter, and the theater atmosphere immediately reached a climax.

Third, lively music.

The melody of "Watching Lights by Couples" clearly reflects the characteristics of traditional music in Huangmei Opera, with "hue" and "watching lights" as the main melody. The first paragraph is "hue", the second paragraph is "watching lights", and the third paragraph is back to "hue", with the emphasis on the second paragraph. The tune of the second paragraph "Watching Lights" is not simple repetition, but distinct. For example, Wang's wife's "On the 10th of this month, the Lantern Festival will be held" is the official tone of "watching lanterns", which is lively and festive; After Mr. and Mrs. Wang Xiaoliu went out, voices and gongs and drums alternated, which seemed to be a question and answer, relaxed and humorous. Both Fang Shaoyong and Hu, musicians of Huangmei Opera, have written articles.
